Learned something new today. Had never heard of sumac. sounds interesting.
Ah. . . .isn't sumac toxic?
Sumac is a berry that has been used for thousands of years in a various ways, including cooking, smoking, tanning leathers, etc.
There are hundreds of different Sumac plants family which also includes poison oak and ivy. I probably would not eat those.
Sumac Noun from the dictionary:
Any of various shrubs or small trees of the genus Rhus, having compound leaves, clusters of small greenish flowers, and usually red, hairy fruit. Some species, such as the poison ivy and poison oak, cause an acute itching rash on contact.
